About us
Why BLKW®
BLKW® was born from a need: to express who you are, without having to explain it.
I’m Marianna, an Italian graphic designer. I founded BLKW with a clear vision — to create something that doesn’t follow trends, but speaks a strong, essential, independent language.
Our graphics don’t shout. They whisper.
Each piece is made for those who choose to stand out without showing off. Our style is minimal, oversized, limited. But every detail is intentional, every cut deliberate.
BLKW is a philosophy, not just a brand.
It’s for those who live outside the codes. Who move along the edges, but with style. We were born in France, but our soul is Italian. And now we’re here — in Italy — building something that doesn’t try to please everyone, but finds those who are ready to choose.
BLKW doesn’t dress. It expresses.
Choose who you are.
Want to collaborate with us?
BLKW® We’re open to real collaborations — with people and projects that share our mindset: essential, honest, independent.
Whether you’re a store, photographer, artist, or content creator, if you feel aligned with the BLKW world, get in touch. We consider every proposal with care and respect.
Our Manifesto
WE ARE NOT FAST FASHION.
We produce consciously, in small quantities, far from the toxic pace of mass consumption.
EVERY GRAPHIC IS A WORK OF ART.
Behind each print is an idea. An urgency. A vision. Nothing is random.
OUR PHILOSOPHY: BE KIND, BUT WILD.
Respect others. But don’t dim your fire. Stay true.
WE’RE NOT PERFECT — OUR PIECES AREN’T EITHER.
They don’t aim for perfection, but for expression.
BLKW ISN’T FOR FOLLOWERS. IT’S FOR THOSE WHO LEAVE A MARK.
No masks. No poses. Just authentic expression.
